I Feel Pretty

'I Feel Pretty' is a mostly-straightforward romantic comedy from the writers of 'Never Been Kissed', 'He's Just Not That Into You' and 'How To Be Single', so it's safe to assume you know pretty much what to expect. There's also a nice twist on the tried-and-tested body-switch plot - Renee (Schumer) hits her head and believes she has achieved her dream of becoming beautiful.

Renee believing she's the hottest woman alive is where a lot of the humour comes from, but also some of the missteps - since Renee and her two friends, Jane (Phillips) and Vivian (Bryant), are not actually ugly. It's also where most of the sincere moments come from - it's not all about what you look like, but the confidence you have in yourself, highlighted in a rousing speech by Schumer near the end. She's (mostly) not too over-the-top and is (mostly) easy to cheer for.

While not focusing solely on girl-meets-boy/falls-in-love/separate/get-back-together, it still manages to fit that all in, with Ethan (Scovel) a decent foil to Schumer. It's annoying that the backdrop to a film that's actually about not worrying about looks is centered around a make-up company, run by Avery (Williams) and Grant (Hopper) - both mostly pointless. Overall, it's not as good as 'Trainwreck', but nor is it a totally vapid "chick flick".

Ignore that haters... This is a real life... and a dream of all not "popular" girls.. If you believe in yourself you can be pretty...all of us can be...

Not a fan of most of Amy's movie but had a free preview of this movie so checked it out. Also pretty picky with comedies, as many now are just stupidity hiding as laughs or prejudices hidden in humor. Anyway, it was cute, quirky, constant laughs and a great message that is relatable too many people.

I found myself pretty entertained by this film. Not anything exceptional, but it's a sweet message. There are some funny moments that are found every now and the characters are interesting enough. This isn't anything incredible, but coming from Amy Schumer, I'm leaving the theater happy.

You're going to see a lot of reviews on here say that it's predictable, silly, probably a few other criticisms that are perfectly fair. But this movie knows what it is, and the authenticity makes it enjoyable. It has a genuinely sweet romance, great comedic moments, and good messages. It's a silly romcom with a lot of charm and heart, and it's worth a couple hours of your time. Give it a chance.
